Plan B describes struggle of making first film

Plan B has revealed how he initially struggled to convince the crew of directorial debut, 'iLL Manors,' of his film-making credentials.

The British rapper, whose semi-autobiographical tale of crime and violence in London will hit cinemas on June 6, told the Hollywood Reporter that he was met with a rather sceptical reception during the early stages of shooting:

"When I started, the crew were mostly like, 'what the f--- is this popstar doing making a film.

“I had told them beforehand that I'd never done a film before and made that clear and they all said, 'Oh we'll look after you, we're here to help.' And then the first day of the shoot I got that [attitude]. There wasn't really a good vibe on set."
